HIIT: This is Next-Gen Training for Muay Thai

If you want to cut weight, boost your metabolism, and build muscle, then incorporating HIIT style workouts into your Muay Thai training is a solid way to go.

High Intensity Bodyweight Workout For Muay Thai

18-Minute Muay Thai Body Weight Workout You Can Do At Home

From Muay Thai Guy

Perform this workout anywhere, even in the comfort of your own home. However, let’s be honest, it’s not going to be very comfortable.

But it can be fun! This is a workout that maximizes effectiveness and efficiency. High-intensity maximizes the amount of calories burned, and the exercises build and improve your fighting repertoire.

This is an 18-minute workout consisting of 3 sets of a circuit of 6 exercises. You will rest 1-2 minutes between circuits, and each exercise is a 45-second sprint followed by a 15-second rest before moving on to the next exercise. The whole workout looks like this:

  6. Squat-knee for 45 seconds
